You could take your Valentine's date to the latest five star restaurant in town. Or you could take them to McDonald's.

And just in case there is a wait, you can make reservations at two Tampa, Fla.-area McDonald's.

WTSP spoke to one of the managers at the locations, Ernesto Izquierdo. He said his guest services manager came up with the idea, hoping it would bring in more families on Cupid's special day.

If you make a reservation (there are 20 already) you get access to a special section that is decorated with flowers and hearts. Servers, dressed nicely, will be around to take your order and ask if you want fries with that.

“We have more reservations than we expected already, but we will make it work and keep everyone happy and smiling, because that is what we do best,” he said. “And remember this does not have to be romantic, it could be a dad taking his daughter for Valentine's Day Dinner, and it will be special if they share it with us.”
